How can I edit my submit form to my email or my form adobe

I have not done a form in Dreamweaver, but I am curious how
you got the code to send it to an e-mail address. Is this a built
in Dreamweaver function?
Webpage forms are meant to send data, not display data. If
you want the e-mail formatted into a specific format you would need
the script for the send form modified to also include formatting
lines. Depending on your end purpose, this might not be worth the
added time.
I usually have the raw data e-mailed (if I need a copy in my
inbox) and also store the information into a database. I then have
a loccation on my website that I can log into to retrieve the form
data. By retrieving it through the webpage, I can have any format I
want to display it in. This process also makes it nice to filter
the information that was sent, and if it includes e-mail addresses
it is easy to create mailing lists from it.
Need Help
thanks

There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of
method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
carefully.

  • How can I edit the default settings for the Email button?

    I saw this question posted for February and as yet still unanswered. So I am now asking it again.
    I do not want to use my .mac account email address in my website. I want it linked to my domain. I have found no specific instructions for changing the default. Also my drag down "Link to" menu in the Inspector does not work.
    Thanks........

    While you can't edit the default email address in iWeb, there is a workaround which may suit.
    In Safari, locate a web page which has iWeb's email button on it (if you've already published a site, one of your own web pages is ideal). Control-click on the button and select 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Drag this image from the Media Browser to your iWeb page, select the image, and use the Link inspector to enable it as a hyperlink linking to 'An Email Message'. Enter whatever email address you like in the To box and a Subject for the message if you wish.
    To make things easier, create an iWeb library in iPhoto and add the email button to it for handy access.

  • How can I edit the Subject Line of an email I've received?

    When the sender inserts vague or misleading text in the Subject Line (or leaves it blank), sometimes I'd like to edit it - makes organization and retrieval of information which might be in the email easier for me.
    I've tried opening the email file with a text editor (TextWrangler) and editing the "Subject" line. That partially works: When the message is open for reading, my edited Subject appears near the top of the message.
    However, when looking a list of emails in a Mailbox, Mail still displays the unedited Subject - which defeats my purpose.
    What am I missing, here?

    Hi Gary, I think Mail is using stored info, not sure which of these two hold that, but...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • How can i put a submit button in a survey and it send to my email

    how can i put a submit button in a survey and it send to my email?

    Hi williamm89908146,
    You need to open the form in which you want to put the submit button,
    then you have to choose 'Add new field' under Tasks pane on the right Hand side of the window.
    Choose 'Ok' Button
    Place the button at desired Location
    Change the field name to 'Submit'
    Click on 'All Properties' (Button Properties window Will open up)
    Click on Actions Tab and then on 'Select Action:'
    Choose 'Open a web Link' from the Drop Down Menu and then Click 'Add'
    another window will appear in which you have to type this:    mailto:[your email address], eg: mailto:[email protected] later click close
    Click Close Form editing on the right hand side of the window
    Clicking on the Button would open up your default email client and your address would appear in 'To' field.
    Please feel free if you face any challenges in following through these steps.
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • How can i disable a submit button and execute submit_action method on click

    Good Day,
    On my page I have a submit button that execute the submit_action method of the page backing bean that submit data captured on the page into a database and activate another class that send mail at the same time on a click of the submit button,the mail process takes a while before returning back to the page.I was able to disable the submit button to prevent the user from keep click while the process is running but the issue is on clicking the submit button it only disable the submit button without executing the submit_action method of the page backing bean.How can i disable the submit button and execute submit_method of the backing bean at the same time.
    Thanks in advance.

    I tried this out on one of my pages to see if it works.
    First, I added the following JavaScript to my submit button's onClick event:
    this.disabled=true; return true;When I clicked the submit button, it was disabled but the form was not submitted.
    I deleted the JavaScript from the onClick event and added the following JavaScript to the form's onSubmit event:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); button.disabled=true; return true;When I click the submit button, it was disabled and the form was submitted but the button's action method was not called.
    The next thing I tried was to change the onSubmit event code:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); setTimeout("button.disabled=true", 500); return true;This seemed to work. The difference was that I added a 1/2 second delay before disabling the button.
    See if that works for you. If not then I'm fresh out of ideas.

  • How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

    How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

    You need to 'reverse engineer' them :
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How can I edit a published Website in iWeb again?

    Hi there,
    after upgrading to Leopard my former published website-folders have not been overtaken to new installed iWeb ´08.
    How can I edit those older iWeb-folders (import them to new installed iWeb ´08 again) to provide from rebuilding the complete stuff?
    Thanks very much for infos...
    Sincerely,
    Jörg Daniel
    (fridgeflight)

    Did you find an answer on this, or give up? I've done the latter, and recommend that you also consider buying a more useful application for this purpose.
    This really is an unbelievably silly oversight on Apple's part to "break" our webpage interface so that users lose their website (which I did by trying to link iweb to it) or cannot edit it in any way after a new install nor find it for edit from another machine (like my laptop).
    The whole idea of this "basic" software was that we users don't need to be "savvy". But this takes savvy to a whole new level.
    I recommend you, find some freeware or just buy a decent app, that actually allows you to download the website into it (like the Netscape Communicator's built-in webpage editor used to do). It allowed the user to save the currently loaded webpage, edit it, and publish it properly.
    Good luck to us all.

  • How can i edit pdf files ?

    how can i edit pdf files ?

    What kind of "editing" operations do you have in mind?
    You can add/delete/change annotations (such as Sticky Notes or Highlight/Strikeout/Underline text markups) or fill out forms in Adobe Reader.  Some people (mistakenly) call it "editing".  But, strictly speaking, it is not.
    Because Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer, you are not able to edit the content of PDF documents.  For example, you cannot
    add/edit images or text
    insert/delete/extract pages
    convert PDF from/to other formats
    You need a PDF editor such as Adobe Acrobat Pro or Standard, which is not a free product.

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.
